The KDC-10 contract was won by Douglas Aircraft. But they were required (by corporate McDonnell Douglas headquarters)
Uhh check your dates. Douglas ' merged' with McDonnel in 1967-68 mainly due to fubar cost accounting on DC-9. KC contract was let about 10 years later. with first flight in 1981
Which division gets the profit?
